can u do html and javascript? ummm, no!

Well, it seems that I've gone mad...While every other flasher I know runs like hell from html and javascript I seem to enjoy this torture. Heck, I know I am a flashdev maso when it comes to doing things in the 13'th way possible but cmon, do I really need to know css?This spring (actually february) when I moved to my current work place I was chosen for my flash skills. There were some flash projects behind schedule for high profile customers that cannot stand the idea of their needs not beeing met on time. So I got the job done somehow (don't ask how) and then I found myself reading flash OOP articles cause the client went to sleep very pleased with the results.

Enter PM's question: "Can you do some javascript cause we need a scoller that doesn't look like a scroller to scroll a DIV that does look and is indeed a DIV."Answer: "Hmmm... a little, but I can look into it..."3 days later the job was done.

Well, the final result is this: me sitting at my pc, having four browsers opened (hell, we need cross-browser pixel perfect html+css sites, don't we?), slicing images in photosop and meditating on the semantic web and the proper markup of a beautiful and content oriented web site.You do test for FANGS compliance as I do, right?
